[QUOTE="mrray13, post: 694943, member: 540942"] audioholic... i understand what ur trying to say, as well as warbleed... the rl-p's are way underrated..mike is throwin 3000wrms at a pair of rl-i's..which are rated 300 a piece....of course, i, nor mike or even u for that matter, would recommend that for most ppl on this forum. if he did, mike would be getting quite a few drivers back. he underrates for consumer as well as his own, protection. again, as far as output went..that was as subjective as the sq...like i stated, a mic would be needed to tell the tale. yes, i did feel as though the xxx got louder, but i can't prove it one way or the other. i still don't understand how more power would have helped it out in this box..when it kept up with the rlp everywhere else. the xxx sounded suffocated at the lowend...but once the frequencies started to climb, the xxx did fine. i still think box was more of an issue then power. i will be building a 2.1-2.5ft^3 enclosure with 36in^2 of port, tuned somewhere in the neighborhood of 28-35hz(i haven't really decided yet) and run both subs again. i might even run 3000wrms on them from my 1500d...but most of the testing will be at 750wrms..from the 1500d @4ohm... regardless..both of these subs are excellent drivers...like i said. like i also said, and this is the part everyone seems to be forgetting...[I][B]in this application[/B][/I] the rl-p was the better driver because of it's ability to get lower and keep up in both sq and spl... there is no definite winner as both subs have a particular enviroment they want to live in...and that should be the deciding factor....unless price is an issue. smaller area to work with or smaller budget..get the rl-p more money or more room...the xxx might be the better choice. btw, if someone wants to send me an amp that produces 1500 wrms or so at one ohm, i'd be more then happy to use it in both the ported box and sealed box applications. my 1500d does it at 2 ohm.....so i'm out.. but overall, i think this goes to show how much of a system is install. both are excellent subs, one just performed better in the given enviroment...after i try a second one, we'll see if the outcome changes. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
